Hello, I have some temperature sensors at home via zigbegg connected to a hub. I have that hub in home assistant. The fact is that I receive the house temperatures perfectly in home assistant.
My problem comes from the fact that these sensors do not have a battery meter and I don’t know how to make home assistant notify me that I have not received data from them for more than 2 hours. That would help me detect a warning that it has no battery since it sends data every 5 minutes.
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: sensor.foo_bar
to:
for:
hours: 2
action:
...
Note: this will trigger if the sensor state stays the same value for 2 hours. So that may give you false triggers if you have a rarely changing sensor.
I have this automation to notify of stale devices

ah, great! what a good idea, I’ll put it that way.
I could configure it from the visual menu? how would it be?
I have been reviewing both options you give me @_dev_null and @tom_l but I now have a sensor no batteries and it seems that it does not stay at a continuous fixed value or fixed state but rather goes to unavailable. Can I have HA alert me if a device appears as unavailable for several minutes?
Does anyone know how to send a warning when a sensor is not sending temperatures and is in unavailable status?
cal_service notify
Ohh, i guess you “missed” (/dev /null ) 's Solution !
== state
PS: And please Mark ( /dev /null )'s Answer as Solution, as it cover yours and +100000 other users “thoughts”
EDIT: Would also be appropriate if you would go through your other Topics, and mark those which have a “helped” you with , Marking it as Solution, This would help other who uses the Search Function, to find similar Answers/Solutions
Sorry but I didn’t understand the code, I don’t doubt that it is correct but I need some more help.
I have created this code adapted to my HA

Could you please format this to something human readable ?
yes, it works for me! Thank you, only 2 parameters are required:

I have a xioami temperature sensor which has 3 entities: battery, humidity and temperature.
sensor.battery_158d000110799c
sensor.humidity_158d000110799c
sensor.temperature_158d000110799c
Sometimes it receives a temperature signal, sometimes a battery signal and sometimes a humidity signal. How can I make a condition to know if in the last 4 hours I have received any data?
{# Temp Int Pasillo #}
{{
now() - states.sensor.battery_158d000110799c.last_changed >= timedelta (hours=4)
and
now() - states.sensor.humidity_158d000110799c.last_changed >= timedelta (hours=4)
and
now() - states.sensor.temperature_158d000110799c.last_changed >= timedelta (hours=4)
}}
First , you should Not put them all in same double brackets, as it result in true or false ( 1 result )
And not i.e True, False, False, or false, true, false
Use /Developer-Tools/Templates, to test and play with your templates
It works perfect for me, I think it is correct, could you show a view with this value? How would you do that? To know the last update received from a sensor?
Im not sure what you mean by
Beside This below, is Not what you asked here
To know the last update received from a sensor!, you just add last_updated … Not last_changed
What ever it is you are trying, i have very hard to understand what you actually are doing.
So please Follow my advice above
And read the DOCS about Template And Templating
Also Please open a New Topic, this is marked Solved, Yet you Keep asking New Question, Totally unrelated to This Topic
I mean that this type of code works well:
{# Detector de Humo Cocina #}
{{
now() - states.sensor.battery_158d000130744c.last_changed >= timedelta (hours=24)
and
now() - states.binary_sensor.smoke_sensor_158d000130744c.last_changed >= timedelta (hours=24)
}}
Normally the last_changed usually coincides with the last_updated, doesn’t it?
I want to make a view with several sensors where you can see at a glance when they were last changed.
Do you actually know what the code Does ?, and what the “output/state” of those is ?
No, but sometimes ( When the Value is actually changed )
I:E You look in your wallet, you have 10 buck: Next time you want to check(next Update) You still have 10 Buck, Nothing have change NO Last_Change before you spend a dime
type: entities
entities:
- entity: sensor.forecast_current_temperature
secondary_info: last-updated
You REALLY should spend a little time reading the DOCS … Please ?
